Academics produce studies that are advancing the ridiculous fiction that anti-Muslim fringe groups dominated the mass media via displays of fear and anger after 9/11 that stoked public fears that Muslims are secretly plotting to overthrow the U.S. government. Anti-Muslim fringe groups are responsible for that idea? Osama, Anwar Awlaki, Sheikh Qaradawi, et al have made no secret of it. And yet it is somehow the fault of champions of freedom. This is what passes for research and analysis at a major American university today. Its a sign of how intellectually corrupt and morally bankrupt our universities have become.

The same moral blindness is rampant at the highest levels of our government. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said last Saturday: So, look, Im not making excuses for the missed opportunities of the Israelis, or the lack of generosity, the lack of empathy that I think goes hand-in-hand with the suspicion. So, yes, there is more that the Israelis need to do to really demonstrate that they do understand the pain of an oppressed people in their minds, and they want to figure out, within the bounds of security and a Jewish democratic state, what can be accomplished.

Hillary is demanding that Jews empathize with their annihilationists. Hillary wants Jews to be generous with those who are obsessed with their extermination and the elimination of the tiny Jewish state. The crime of the Jewish people is their love of life and their desire to live free, and not under constant terror and war. Why doesnt Hillary counsel the oppressors, the worst violators of human rights in the world, to cultivate empathy? Why doesnt she urge the savages who target innocent civilians to empathy? Why doesnt this ghost of a woman urge
